Scripture: "Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia—in order to fulfill the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah—the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he sent a proclamation throughout his kingdom, and also put it in writing, saying, “Thus says Cyrus king of Persia, ‘The Lord , the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth, and He has appointed me to build Him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever there is among you of all His people, may the Lord his God be with him, and let him go up!’ ” 2 Chronicles 36:22-23 NASB Application: Our Father never has been limited to working exclusively through His followers. Today, He uses non-Christians as well as Christians. Yet He never creates an evil deed and plants it inside someone. He takes what already dwells voluntarily in a person and uses it for His benevolent purpose. Prayer: Please present opportunities for us to do good for the world to Your exaltation, dear Father.
